Amends, repeals, and adds to existing law to revise provisions regarding the licensure of certified public accountants.

This legislation modifies Idaho’s accounting licensure laws to adapt to today’s professional environment. It reduces the educational requirements to become licensed as a certified public accountant in order to address a workforce shortage caused by increased education requirements enacted in 1993. It also aligns Idaho law with the laws of other states to facilitate the interstate practice of accounting by removing barriers that have not proved to be in the public interest.
